EXi: MS-20EX
256
Unsupported EXi Common parameters
The MS-20EX supports all of the EXi Common parameters,
except for two of the voice allocation options:
Poly Legato
and Mono Mode (Normal/Use Legato Offset).
All of the other voice allocation options are fully supported,
including Mono, Mono Legato, Unison, etc.
On-screen knobs and switches and the Parameter Details area
Parameter Details
The LCD displays include graphic knobs for all of the main
MS-20EX parameters. These let you view and edit
parameters quickly and easily.
You can program any original MS-20 sound using only these
knobs. If you want more flexibility and control, however, the
MS-20EX offers four additional EGs and LFOs, four AMS
mixers, access to the EXi Program’s Common LFO,
Common Step Sequencer, and
Vector features, and AMS
modulation for almost every original MS-20 parameter.
The entryway to these advanced features is the Parameter
Details area, located in the lower right-hand part of the
display. This shows information for the selected knob or
switch, including its parameter group and parameter name,
its exact value, and its AMS assignments:

Using the graphic parameters
Editing knobs
To edit knobs:
1. Touch the knob.
A yellow square will appear around the knob, showing that it
has been selected. The Parameter Details area will change to
show the name and value of the current parameter, along
with other related information.
2. Touch and then drag the knob to change its value. You
can use either up-down or right-left gestures.
or:
Use any of the VALUE controllers to edit the value.
You can use the +/- buttons, or the VALUE dial.
As you edit the value, notice that the graphic knob moves,
and that the value in the Parameter Details area changes as
well.
Editing on/off switches
To edit an on/off switch, such as the MG KEY SYNC
button, simply:
1. Touch the switch to toggle the value.
Assigning AMS modulation
Most parameters support modulation via AMS. Sources and
intensities can be edited in the Parameter Details area:
1. Touch the knob.
If the parameter supports AMS modulation, the Parameter
Details area will show one or more AMS sources and
intensities.
2. Edit the AMS settings in the Parameter Details area.
Note: The graphic knobs always show their stored value.
Absolute Tone Adjust settings edit these values, just as if
you were editing the parameters themselves, and so the
graphics will show the results. However, AMS modulation
does not edit the stored value, and so the graphics do not
include the results of AMS.
Note also that AMS can sometimes modulate parameters
outside the range of the stored values, as if you were pushing
the parameter beyond the ends of the knob.
